Passings Damita Manuela Our sympathy is extended to Dianna Rea of Leander, Texas, who lost her “dear little Damita Manuela” (P-83) in September of 2008. The red roan mare was a daughter of Sun, one of the foundation SBBA stallions. She had been a member of her family for 26 years. Dianna said, “I always called her my little horse with the “big attitude”. Damita Manuela is missed by all her “family”. Padre: What is there to say about a stallion who cannot decide between a carrot and a mare…not just any mare but one of his favorite? And will allow you to stand beside him while he makes up his mind. Generosity, graciousness, giving heart, 2 patience, and exemplary leadership qualities and parenting skills were his hallmark. His herd management skills and vigilance were remarkable, to be admired and an instinctive gift to him and those in his charge. His power and grace exemplified the Spanish horse’s movement. Padre’s kindness was to me his most notable quality. I will always be grateful to Marjorie and Jerry for their benevolent (warm-heartedness) to give him the life he knew and understood so well in his golden years. P–Man, Wherever your journey takes you we will be there in thought and love, thank you for sharing your life and for those wonderful individuals you left in your likeness, reminding us of your greatness and continuation of valuable genetic history. (Note: Padre WC-2, was also a Wilbur- Cruce Foundation horse.) By Robin Collins Chief Francisco: CISCO…there are no words I can find to say all that you have brought to my life and to the lives of all you touched. I am powerless to even try to give you the tribute you deserve. I can only hope to try to aspire to your greatness and give my heart and soul to those you left to us in your likeness. To those you shared your benevolence, unending spirit and wisdom with we will always be grateful for you helping us find the best in ourselves. as you were always at your best. You are missed more than words could ever express… via con Dios (Note: Francisco was a Wilbur-Cruce Foundation Stallion, WC-1) By Robin Collins
Arizona State Horse Project By Marjorie Dixon The Arizona State Horse Project is an organization formed to try to have the Colonial Spanish Horse named the Arizona State Horse by 2011. The goal is to have these magnificent horses designated as the official state horse in time for the state centennial celebration in 2012. The Colonial Spanish Horse has been a part of Arizona history since 1540 when Francisco Coronado crossed Arizona on horseback. From 1687 to 1704 Father Eusebio Francisco Kino, “The Padre on Horseback”, built 22 missions. All of the missions were in Northern Mexico and Arizona, the most famous being San Xavier del Bac south of Tucson, AZ. Father Kino credited much of his success to the stamina of the Colonial Spanish Horse. Today in Arizona the progeny THANK YOU Larry Griffin and Doug Perrault Photo by W E “Buzz” Busse Photo by Jim Barba www.endlessimaging.com Thank you for spending the summer working with our horses. You will find some lovable horses here because of these two great horse lovers. Dragoon Mountain Spanish Barbs Jerry and Marjorie Dixon of the Colonial Spanish Horse lives on in the Cerbat horses, the Native American horses and the Wilbur- Cruce horses. The project was conceived by Jerry Dixon to honor the ancestry of the Colonial Spanish Horses. A committee was formed by Maureen Kirk-Detberner, who has been working diligently to get the dorses designated. Other committe members include Silke Schneider, Richard Felger, Marjorie and Jerry Dixon, Deni Mitchell and Becky Chandos. State Representatives Nancy Young Wright and Patricia Fleming agreed to help. Ms. Fleming, District 25, and her staff will write the bill. The plan is to send this bill to the Arizona State Legislature in early 2010. Please keep updated on our progress by going to our website www.arizonahorseproject.com.
